What to do when you land a new role in an unknown space
In this advisory monologue, the speaker outlines a practical three‑step approach for anyone who has just taken a new position in an unfamiliar industry—illustrated with a hypothetical move into pharmaceutical technology. First, conduct thorough market research to identify the leading companies, emerging challengers, and their geographic footprints. Second, tap into any mutual connections or personal networks (e.g., referencing Adam Jennings or a contact named Hishem) to gain insider perspectives and potentially secure introductions. Finally, combine the customer’s job brief with the gathered market intelligence to create a well‑informed, targeted strategy. The speaker emphasizes that these three components—research, network leverage, and synthesis—form the foundation for quickly getting up to speed and positioning oneself effectively in a new space.
